Elly Tehrani, DMD, MSD · Answer

is there any pain, swelling or bad taste/ smell ? If present, these are the symptoms that would indicate problems with the healing Healing status is not clear from the picture you have posted.  Also you should not be pulling on the cheek.  you can disturb the healing .....if you have concerns , you should see your dental surgeon to evaluate the site and to  rule out infection......

It is extremely difficult to tell from the photograph that you have attached whether the implant is healing properly.If you have any concerns, then you should return to your dentist for an evaluation.If you're experiencing discomfort or any sign of infection, then you should seek mediate attention.I hope you found this information to be helpful,Dr. Champagne

From the photo, it is difficult to assess healing progress. but key things to look out for is any increase in swelling or pain that may indicate infection / inflammation. See our detailed post operative instructions which might be helpful.
